Technical Field

Background
The basic capabilities of a network include three dimensions of transmission, computation and storage, and the functions of the network are mainly expressed in three aspects of hardware resource sharing, software resource sharing and information exchange among users, however, the ultimate goal of the network is to meet various demands of all users in the network, which is also the power of meaning and development of the network, and therefore, the demands are the factors determining the fundamental nature of the network architecture and properties.
The current network meets the requirements of users and is realized by two stages of network design and network operation and maintenance. Network design provides a basic network construction scheme, and network operation and maintenance configures the network based on the constructed network and user requirements collected by network operators. Neither of these two phases is centered on dynamic, discrete user demand, but rather is targeted to meet predicted overall network traffic needs. Thus, the degree of matching of network architecture design and construction to dynamic, discrete user requirements is difficult to say. On the other hand, the requirement processing of the dynamic change in the network operation and maintenance stage is mainly realized by manpower, and the method has the advantages of low instantaneity, insufficient requirement satisfaction accuracy, poor matching degree with the network real-time state and poor utilization rate of network resources. Meanwhile, the user requirements may also change with time, and if the user relies on manual work to realize the adaptation to the requirement changes, the method is neither real-time nor accurate enough, and the realization cost is high.
The change of the network architecture brought by the software defined network has a great positive influence on the development of the network, but because the software defined network focuses on the upper architecture of the network, the consideration on the implementation and application aspects is not fine enough, and the problem that who defines the network is reasonable and how to implement the definition efficiently is not solved clearly, so that the application on the product faces some obstacles.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a method for implementing a requirement definition network, including the steps of:
s101, collecting and classifying user requirements, dividing each type of user requirements into a user requirement set, and adjusting the user requirement set in real time according to the user requirements. The user requirements may be collected from the user terminal equipment or from a system of the network service provider, such as a BOSS system. Then, the same or similar user requirements are classified into a category to form a set of user requirements, namely a user requirement set. Wherein, the same user requirement means that the required contents are completely the same; the similar user requirements mean that the required contents are partially the same, but the same network resources can be commonly used; there are substantial differences in user needs from one user need set to another.
For example: a, a user needs a bandwidth of 100M at time T1, and the time delay requirement is 1 s; at time T2, bandwidth 5M is required, with a latency requirement of 20 ms. The user B needs the bandwidth of 100M at the time T1, and the time delay requirement is 1 s; at time T2, bandwidth 5M is required, with a latency requirement of 20 ms. The user C needs 50M of bandwidth at time T1, and the time delay requirement is 1 s; at time T2, bandwidth 10M is required, with a latency requirement of 20 ms. D, the user needs 1000M of bandwidth at time T1, and the time delay requirement is 100 ms; at time T2, bandwidth 1M is required, with a 2ms latency requirement.
Then the user requirements for a and B are the same; the user requirements of A and C are similar; the user requirements for a and D are different. Thus, the user requirements of A, B and C fall into the same user requirement set, and the user requirements of D fall into another user requirement set.
S102, judging the satisfiability of each user requirement set according to all available network resources in the jurisdiction range, establishing a meta slice for each user requirement set which can be satisfied, and generating an operation instruction which is sent to the network equipment according to the network resources required by the meta slice.
The network resources include physical resources and logical resources of the network device, which can be obtained according to the states of all network devices in the jurisdiction, such as VLAN, IP address, four-layer port, etc. For a set of user requirements that can be met, a meta-slice is created based on the policy. And, this meta-slice is also updated in real-time as the user demand set changes. If the network resources are unable to meet a set of user requirements, problems with the unsatisfiable resources are reported to other systems, such as the network service provider's systems.
The above strategy for creating meta-slices refers to: after the network resources can meet a certain user requirement set, corresponding operations can be executed. For example, the terminal name is "IPhoneX Zhang", and the MAC address is AA: BB: CC: DD: EE: FF, having a bandwidth requirement of 100M at 9 am, is an example of a user requirement set, and only if a network resource has a premise of satisfying the example, a corresponding meta-slice can be established, that is, a meta-slice is established based on a policy.
The meta-slice is the smallest unit of a slice, i.e., the smallest and independent logical partition of the network, and a network slice of a user demand set is a meta-slice. The meta-slices may be generated using a unified meta-slice template, represented by a logical data structure that describes the meta-slices. For example, a meta-slice requires port M of device a to reserve 10M bandwidth and port N of device B to reserve 10M bandwidth …, and the logical data structure is: M10M for A, N10M … for B
And S103, establishing mapping between each meta-slice and the required network resource, namely, the meta-slice in the step S102 is only designed and not physically realized, and needs to correspond to the physical resource or the network virtual resource of the network equipment. By establishing the mapping, the meta-slice can be mapped to the required network resources. And then configuring and executing the network resources corresponding to the meta-slice according to the operation instruction and the configuration method of the network equipment.
Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment details how the user requirement set is adjusted in real time according to the user requirement.
And when receiving a new user demand, distributing the newly added user demand into the user demand set, and if the newly added user demand does not belong to any user demand set, establishing a new user demand set for the newly added user demand.
Each user requirement carries an effective time period, the effective time period is regarded as an effective user requirement, and if the user requirement exceeds the effective time period, the user requirements exceeding the effective time period are deleted from the user requirement set; when the last user requirement in the user requirement set is deleted, the user requirement set is deleted.
Each time the user requirement set changes, such as adding or deleting a user requirement, the meta-slice corresponding to the user requirement set is updated accordingly. If the user requirement set is newly established, the corresponding meta-slice is also newly generated. If the user requirement set is deleted, the corresponding meta-slice is also deleted. After the meta-slice is changed, the mapping corresponding to the meta-slice is also changed, so as to ensure the real-time performance of network resource allocation.
Based on the foregoing embodiment, in another embodiment, different priorities may be set for a plurality of user demand sets in step S101, and in step S102, the satisfiability of each user demand set is determined one by one according to the order of priority from high to low, so as to ensure that the user demand set with high priority preferentially allocates network resources.
In addition, a priority is set for the user requirements in each user requirement set, in step S102, if the network resource cannot meet a certain user requirement set, the resource is reported to other systems that the resource cannot be met, and at this time, the user requirements can be deleted from the user requirement set in sequence from low to high according to the priority until the network resource meets the user requirement set. For the deleted user requirement, the network service provider or the network operation and maintenance unit is automatically notified that the network resource is insufficient to meet the user set, and in this case, the user requirement is handled separately, for example, manually.
As shown in fig. 2, the present embodiment provides a network architecture of a demand definition network, which includes a demand layer, a demand broker layer, a network agent layer, a network layer, a control layer, and a Network Management System (NMS) for controlling each layer.
The demand layer is used for receiving discrete, dynamically-changed and differentiated user demands, and is a source of the user demands. The various graphs of the requirements layer in FIG. 2, each representing a user requirement. Typically, the requirements layer receives user requirements through a user terminal device or a network service provider's system.
The requirement broker layer is used for collecting and classifying user requirements, dividing each type of user requirements into a user requirement set, adjusting the user requirement set in real time according to the user requirements, and converting the user requirements into a form recognized by the network intelligent layer. The same graphs in the requirement broker layer in fig. 2 represent the same or similar user requirements, and the same graphs are divided into a group, which represents that the same or similar user requirements form a user requirement set. The requirement brokering layer comprises a requirement brokering component, and the requirement brokering component can be an independent server or a cluster consisting of a plurality of servers.
The network intelligent layer is used for analyzing according to the conditions of all available network resources, judging the satisfiability of each user demand set, establishing a meta-slice for each satisfiable user demand set and managing the life cycle of the meta-slice. The network intelligence layer is also used to establish a mapping of meta-slices to the required network resources, i.e. mapping the user demand set to the final network resource configuration based on the current conditions of the network. For example: the user demand set 1 needs 100M bandwidth to transmit data from the network node A to the network node B, and the end-to-end time delay is 1 ms; the network smart layer needs to find a route from the network node a to the network node B, the bandwidth of the route is not less than 100M, the total delay of the route is not more than 1ms, and then the 100M bandwidth of the route is corresponding to the user demand set 1.
And the control layer is used for controlling network resources in the network and configuring the network resources corresponding to the meta-slice.
A network layer for providing network resources for the meta-slice, the network resources including physical resources and logical resources of a network device; and also for performing configuration of the control layer. The network layer comprises resource agents and a multi-layer network (such as L2, L3 and L4), the resource agents are components for realizing resource scheduling and configuration in each layer of the multi-layer network, for example, a two-layer (L2) resource agent is a two-layer logic resource corresponding to a VLAN, a three-layer (L3) resource agent is a three-layer logic resource corresponding to an IP route, and a four-layer (L4) resource agent is a four-layer logic resource corresponding to a four-layer port.
The network management system is a management entity of the whole network and is used for monitoring the state of the whole network comprising a demand layer, a demand broker layer, a network intelligent layer, a network layer and a control layer and implementing daily management on the network.
In addition to the above functions, the network intelligent layer is further configured to report the user demand sets that cannot be met to the demand brokerage layer, the demand brokerage layer sets priorities for the user demands in each user demand set, and for the user demand sets that cannot be met by the network resources, the user demands are sequentially deleted from the user demand sets according to a sequence of priorities from low to high until the network intelligent layer judges that the network resources meet the user demand sets.
In another embodiment, the network smart layer may configure the network resource corresponding to the meta-slice by itself without passing through the control layer, and issue the operation instruction corresponding to the configuration to the network layer, in which case, the control layer is not used to configure the function of the network resource corresponding to the meta-slice.
As shown in fig. 3, the present embodiment provides the physical architecture of the previous embodiment, wherein the requirement layer includes a plurality of user terminals, and the requirement brokering layer includes a stand-alone server.
The network layer comprises a plurality of network devices such as routers, switches and the like; the network resources mapped per meta-slice are implemented by one or more network devices in the network layer. The control layer comprises a controller, and the network intelligent layer comprises a network intelligent system and is realized by one or more servers.
In this embodiment, the network intelligent system is implemented by one server, and since the input interface of the server has its own rule, the user requirement brokering component needs to convert the user requirement set into the rule of the network intelligent system. For example, the user requirement brokering component collects natural language descriptions and the network intelligence system requires machine language descriptions, and the user requirement brokering component converts the set of user requirements described in natural language into machine language descriptions.
The relationship among the network intelligent system, the controller and the network equipment has three conditions:
1. the controller and the network intelligence system are logically independent of each other and are co-located in a physical platform, such as a server or a server group, in which case the network intelligence system communicates with the network device via an interface between the logical platform and the network device.
2. The controller and the network intelligent system are mutually independent, and the network intelligent system is directly communicated with the network equipment.
3. The controller and the network intelligent system are mutually independent, and the network intelligent system is communicated with the network equipment through the controller. In this case, the operation of the network intelligent system is first sent to the controller, and then sent to the network device by the controller.
The network layer comprises a demand agent and a resource agent which are all components embedded into the network equipment, the basic function of the network demand agent is to execute an operation instruction issued by the network intelligent system, the operation instruction is generated by the network intelligent system according to network resources required by the meta slice and needs to be executed by the network equipment, and the operation instruction can be issued directly by the network intelligent system or issued by the network intelligent system through a controller.
The demand agent judges that the network resource corresponding to the operation instruction is a physical resource and/or a logic resource according to the operation instruction:
if the physical resource is the physical resource, the demand agent completes the conversion from the operation instruction to the network resource configuration, and the network equipment executes the conversion.
If the operation instruction is a logic resource, the demand agent converts the network resource configuration of the operation instruction through the resource agent, and the operation instruction converted by the resource agent is executed by the network equipment.
If the resource is the physical resource and the logical resource, the network device executes the resource after the conversion is respectively completed according to the mode.
The size of the network demand agent depends on the application scenario and the network resource condition of the network device, and if the network resource is in short supply or the network device in the application scenario cannot be substantially changed, the network demand agent can be designed to be simple and only realize the conversion from the operation instruction to the network configuration. If the network resources can support the network demand broker to implement more complex functions and the network devices in the application scenario can be substantially upgraded, the mapping function and even other functions in the network intelligent system can be sunk to the network devices for implementation. As shown in the lower part of fig. 6, the converted network configuration can be directly executed by the network device.
The network intelligent layer sets a user demand template for establishing the meta-slice, and the user demand template can be arbitrarily expanded according to the application scene. The system is a two-dimensional structure, one dimension is time, and the user requirements of the same user can be different essentially at different times; another dimension is the user demand that changes over time, which may be bandwidth, latency, packet loss rate, jitter, path, environment, etc.
